Hey, I have a bunch of network stuff

I suspect a lot of people on the list are in some stage of the same
situation that I am in, buying has exceeded personal usage. Very often a
"pallet" is cheaper to buy than one or two items off it, but what do you do
with the rest of the stuff. Building shelves was my first instinct, but at
some point selling it to other people is the only ray of light into
otherwise insanity.

With all of this networking talk, I have to mention that as much as my
general packrat habits are obviously known, my "main" focus is on
networking stuff and old macs/apples. Long ago this passed the stage of
just getting the stuff I need, becoming just short of Mike's warehouse,
where I am the "vendor" of choice to fair number of people and schools.
Since this list is about as noncommercial as they get, I will just mention
what I typically have and interested people may contact me off list. I am
very interested in what sorts of things other people on the list, for lack
of a better word, carry in "stock". I'd rather buy from friends than Fry's.

Macs, lots and lots of old macs, mac parts, and to a lesser extent the
Apple II series, and larger PS/2s (OK, I have 17 PS/2 model 95s ;).

A LOT of NICs, some for PS/2, a few PCI or ISA, but dozens both new in the
box, and pulls for all sorts of older macs. PhoneNet and LocalTalk adapters
and cables, a dozen or so Shiva FastPath ethernet/LocalTalk bridges, and a
couple dozen of the very neat Shiva NetSerials (puts a serial port on a
AppleTalk network). Ethernet and LocalTalk printer adapters and network
bridges.

Along with the above, boxes of cables (CAT5, LocalTalk, Twinax, etc.),
various hubs, and most recently several punchblock/CAT5 things like outlets
and those panels with a dozen to I think 48 CAT5/RJ45 outlets.

Email me if you are looking for something, maybe I will even update a web page.
